Chef J BBQ is expanding with a new North Kansas City location set to open at 1900 Clay St., the former home of Calibration Brewery.

The new spot will feature Kansas City’s first traditional outdoor smokehouse, where guests can watch pitmasters work the fires on custom-built offset smokers cooking meats low and slow for up to 18 hours.

The 5,400-square-foot space will include a large patio and an open smokehouse concept, along with a full scratch kitchen serving cut-to-order barbecue, classic sides and desserts inspired by family recipes. Unlike the popular West Bottoms location that sells out on weekends, the North KC restaurant is expected to operate seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., with plans for a Sunday BBQ brunch.
